Medela 0240215 User guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user guide for the Medela Symphony PLUS breast pump. This document explains how to use the Initiate and Maintain programs to optimize milk production and maintain lactation. I am ready to answer any questions you might have regarding the functionality and specific features described in this guide.
  • When should I switch from the INITIATE to the MAINTAIN program?
    How long should a pumping session last in the INITIATE program?
    How long should a pumping session last in the MAINTAIN program?
    What is the purpose of the let-down button?

Always use the maximum vacuum level
comfortable. This helps produce optimal
milk flow and makes pumping most effective.
